- As cool as it sound, do we actually need it? also what problem are we solving?
Performance is probably the only angle that has some potential but only short requests, the db and other external IO/services is a bigger bottleneck.
by sriniwasx - Hey HN,
I built Vermell, a minimal, zero-dependency C++ web framework designed to explore low-level networking, non-blocking I/O with Linux epoll, and simple Express-like routing under the hood.
I originally started this ~4 years ago and paused it over socket/memory security concerns. Recently, I picked it back up, audited the codebase, and packaged it with APT, Docker, and an NPX starter.
Site & docs: https://vermell.cc/
Would love any feedback on the architecture, security edge cases, or performance.
